What: The Magic Roundabout has raised the bar once more and transformed for winter, into a tented, heated, ‘Decades’ inspired wonderland. Stepping through Old Street tube station attendees will take the stairs through Time and Space and pop up into a homage to the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. The brand new themed areas include a slightly bonkers version of Woodstock with some serious flower power, and a 1970s Playboy lounge, complete with sheepskins and log fire. The Main Bar will be an all-out 80s disco with futuristic art and palm trees and finally, the VIP Area will take you right back to the early 90s – think Fresh Prince!

What: Backyard Cinema’s Snow Kingdom is set in an enchanted castle, deep in the snowy mountains in a magical land. Adventurers will enter through a secret entrance at the foot of the mountain and venture though an ice cave across a frozen lake! Once inside the grand ballroom, relax on giant beanbags before settling under a blanket to watch a favourite movie. Think Harry Potter, Beauty & the Beast, Titanic, Tangled & The Princess Bridealongside new blockbusters including Baby Driver, Wonder Woman, The Revenant & Guardians of The Galaxy 2.

What: Whilst everyone else is going alpine/ski themed, the QOH’s rooftop WigWam has been transformed into a Moroccan inspired hideaway. There’s a giant Moroccan lantern snug you can climb into, with rich carpets, cushions and low tables to recline around. Outside on the roof is inspired by the Majorelle Gardens in Marrakesh with giant cacti set against dusty cobalt blue walls with canopies of fairy lights and cast iron fire pits.

What: Themed around an urban après skate bar, the new winter season will feature a neon-lit winter playground with London’s only rooftop skating rink. We’re promised cutting edge DJs, ice hockey shooting, indoor and outdoor heated areas, and the some of the best views in the city.
